You can't go wrong with Stokes and Tokes...
I can't even remember what epi that's from now.
Can we see about assembling a montage of everything that's ripped Surrogates off?

If we're really gonna be prepping the uninitiated to WAYDM, we'll need the "I used to be a banana" run from Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs.
And I haven't listened to it since the recording, but I remember the last 5 or so minutes of Dark Crystal being pretty solid WAYDM-ing
If you have a tea in a yellowy tinge you could totally call it Felix Felicis and get away with it.
Not like anyone's gonna be well rested enough to tell the difference anyway.
Order of Phoenix: ?
All my brain can see right now is the most horrendously pink cupcakes with cat shaped sprinkles and icing an inch thick, with ink black icing spelling out "I Must Not Tell Lies" on top.
But I don't really think that fits in with everything else you've got going.
There's a whole series in eating well for less (with a family, training, or physical activity in mind).
Sidenote, but I would so be all over this if you ever made it.
I...whoah....what? How the hell did that happen? Damn Teague and his magic mod powers.
Better?

Duuude, please, don't make me rewatch them before rewatching them so I can properly take you down. Ugggghhhhhh. I will die.
I wonder if they sell insurance for being turned into a gollum-esque creature of rage and hate.
Cause that's totally happening.
I don't think Mike was disagreeing with you Eddie.
Because you absolutely want to listen to Mike Rowe read the phone book.
I really, really, really don't like the "liar revealed" plot line. Most of the time it's lazily done and the character essentially has absolutely no reason to lie in the first place. In Rango, there's no character-based reason for him to lie, the circumstances don't really call for it, the lie itself isn't really pertinent or useful, his execution of the lie is incompetent, and when the lie is finally revealed, the payoff is underwhelming.
Rango wants to be someone else, that's his ENTIRE thing for the first half of the movie, he wants to be cool, he wants to be charming, he wants to be THAT guy. Cause all he is really is just a pathetic little geek trapped in a glass box. So when he gets thrown into the middle of nowhere, where no one knows him, he sits down at the bar and he makes a choice, he goes for the capital-C Character, he says screw it, and tries to be THAT guy. And it works. It makes him cool so long as he can keep it up. But by the time it comes around to bite him in the ass, it's too late to back out.
It might be kinda cliche, or overused, but why he chooses to lie is entirely a character-based reason. He's the high school theater geek who really wants to be cool, who goes off to a college on the other side of the country and tries to reinvent himself to be cool.
Whipped this up to show Spork, but might as well post it. A random little Haunted House build I've been working on this weekend for a build contest. Bout 6 hours in at this point, still have to do the basement and finish interior decorating the top floor.
Resource pack is Silent Hill (Required for the build contest)
How in the hell do you get into a 3D movie for 12 bucks?? That's a regular 2D in these parts. A 3D is like 16.
I still don't understand their thought process for Dumbledore, he is supposed to be weary soul yes, but he's also supposed to be really lighthearted at times, a kidder. But through the entire series he is just slow and out of breath and dull. [Among the countless other disappointments] that really disappointed me.
So I'm not going to defend it because I don't got time for all THAT SHIT right now, but one of my pretty controversial film opinions: I HATE the Harry Potter films, like outright loathing level shit here for almost everything they do. At almost every single choice it was like they looked at the book and thought "Sure it's good but how do we make it horrible".
One of these days I'll get around to doing my full SFDebris style rant about the HP movies. One day.
Another short video. Done as a super get in, get out thing, everything was shot in about an hour. Municipal politics yay!
I think the general idea of the Bechdel test is not to directly test individual movies, but to point out that a ridiculously low percentage of movies manage to pass this ridiculously low bar. That's the part worth thinking about. I fully agree that passing the Bechdel test does not prove or even give much evidence that a specific movie has well written female characters.
This is interesting, because I've only ever heard the Bechdel test used in the context of "This movie doesn't even pass the bechdel test, it's worthless" Or something to that effect. I always see it used as a damning of a specific movie because it doesn't pass the test, and that every movie NEEDS to pass it in order to even be considered a good movie.
Maybe I just know a lot of Bechdel extremists or something.
Meanwhile, why did no-one tell me about Hobbes and Bacon?
Cool photos thread, over a month ago.
And cheers for the links, I'll check em out.
That actually makes a lot more sense. I kinda got the feeling this should have been an adventure of the week thing.
I got about halfway through the Trip a while back, it's good, I just really wasn't in the mood for it at the time. Need to go back and finish it. I love Bryden and Coogan.
Dredd (2012)
I just finished it and I'm just sitting here giggling to myself. It was awesome, pure, plain and simple. I get it now.
It was intense, insane and incredible. I have never been so attracted to Lena Headey... which probably says more about my mental health than anything, but she's amazing. Urban is badass. I don't think I've ever seen the 21st century Crapsack World done so perfectly, everything feels perfectly plausible but just sci-fi enough to separate ourselves, it creates a very cool dynamic.
I LOVE the concept of Slo-mo, both as a visual/story telling device and just as a concept, it's wonderfully fucked up and deliciously magical at the same time.
Loved it. Done. It was awesome. Hope we get more of em.

Hyperdrive [TV 2006]
One of the weirder shows I've stumbled accross on Netflix. Nick Frost, Miranda Hart and Kevin Eldon play the 3 highest ranking officers on a spaceship tasked with the mission of finding and seeking alien business investors for the great empire of Britian.
It's...not great. It's pretty low rent, playing mostly on audaciousness and poking fun of typical sci-fi tropes. I've only watched the first two episodes, probably not something I'm going to rush back too.
Black Books [TV 2000]
Another Netflix find. I've watched the first 3-4 episodes, can't remember exactly.
Dylan Moran is a man who hates books and people, who runs a book shop, Bill Bailey is his foil who hilariously gets hired on to help with the bookstore.
It's good, I have a feeling it gets better as it goes along. Bill Bailey is awesome, but no surprise there, Dylan Moran is hilarious as the grouch, and I'll probably keep watching it off and on when I'm in the mood.
Lol.
I wouldn't say love is lacking, I haven't met a person who's seen it that doesn't love it. But it's one of things when you ask, "Favorite Disney movise" or hell "Favorite animated movies", Lilo and Stitch just isn't one of the ones that comes to mind, and then you remind people of it and it's one of those "ooooohh yeaaaaah." moments. Like I said, it's just one of those ones that seems to fall between the cracks really easily. It's bizarre, cause it really is perfect.
Burke and Hare (2010)
I love this movie, I loved everything about this movie.
Simon Pegg, Andy Serkis, Jessica Hynes, Isla Fisher and Tim Curry in a truly black comedy surrounding the West Port murders of 1828, directed by John Landis. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. It manages to feel like a historical biopic (Obviously highly fictionalized) while also being a highly entertaining, funny, and charming movie. In a lot of ways it kinda feels like Shaun of the Dead shot in 1828, nothing about the environment feels forced or fake (It's right up there with a lot of really high end movies set during period, it's freaking gorgeous in that aspect), but it has this wonderful quirkiness of characters and story like Shaun does.
I loved it. Highly recommended.
Oh my god this demo, this demo. Holy shit.
I love it, I love it so hard. Need to get the game. Need to get the game. Need to get the game.
Same here. I read about this movie and another "biblical" epic that is supposed to come out next year or so as well, though I can't remember the director or topic...
Exodus. Directed by Ridley Scott, starring Christian Bale and Sigourney Weaver.
For some reason there's a bunch of music piped into right side, but if you just take of that headphone it sounds fine.
I've never been a huge fan of Sarah Silverman but she is so freaking cute here. And Alan Tudyk is just hilarious.
